*** 2020-05-11: Hiwin rails received in my last batch are not as smooth feeling as you would expect. Support confirmed there was an issue with preload but they are fully functional (This was also confirmed by a customer in the US who purchased some Hiwin MGN12's from a US distributor). I have disassembled/ cleaned/ inspected/ tested them with no change in feel or perfomance. Considering these were manufactured during the peak of the pandemic I decided not to make a fuss with my supplier. If anyone is unhappy with theirs when they get them I will replace them with a set of SUS9's no questions asked so you can purchase with confidence.***
Dual nozzle head for pick and place machines. REFER TO THE LISTS BELOW FOR WHAT IS INCLUDED. Surface finish subject to change.
FULL KIT:
Full set of CNC MACHINED PLATES, Hardware, 2x high quality linear rails, 2x NEMA 8 hollow shaft motors, 1x NEMA 17 Z rotation motor, motor harnesses, inductive sensor, brass spur gear, 1/8" pins for locking the X axis belt in the tensioners.
PLATE AND SPUR GEAR KIT:
Includes all of the machined plates (9 including the two tensioner brackets) and the required spur gear. You will need to order the rails, motors, inductive sensor and hardware. See below for a list of the required parts to build the head (with buying references!).
(NEW!!) PLATE, SPUR GEAR AND HARDWARE KIT:
Includes everything in the Plate and Spur Gear Kit, as well as all the hardware (screws/ nuts/ pins) needed to assemble the head. Does not include components like the inductive sensor etc.
Links for options info:
Juki nozzle holders, Machined vacuum adapters, 3D printed light panel arms, machined frame plates and LED light panels.

The newest batch of Juki nozzle holders that were shipped with the pre-order heads have a collar OD that is larger than the previous batch (this dimension was not toleranced on the drawing as it was deemed to be non-critical). As a result the assembled motors and nozzle holders cannot be installed on the motor plate without first being separated. This means that the factory orientation will not be maintained (Sorry!!). To install them, separate the nozzle holder from the motor. Use the method in the video to assemble. You can also ship the plates back to me for a free rework.
Heads shipping from this day forward will have the hole in the motor plate enlarged so that the assembled motor and Juki nozzle holder can pass through as designed. |
NEW DESIGN IN PRODUCTION! Type II heads have been machined and tested. Much more compact and lighter than the previous version. 24mm nozzle to nozzle spacing. No more nut traps, all CNC tapped or thread-milled. Now the head runs the latest Smoothie version without modification (see here for the homing test: youtu.be/uEAuCsUzhdY).
Mounts on a MGN 12H (long) or MGN 12C (short) rail bearing block for single head installation. You can chain heads together (see images below) using the Linq plate (supplied if you order 2 or more heads) and you can either use 2x 12C (short) bearing blocks (one on each head) or bridge 2 heads together using a single 12H (long block). Single head requires 3 stepper drivers (so a typical 5 axis control board will work on a machine that uses 1 X motor, and 1 Y motor), or a total of 8 stepper drivers for a dual head setup that uses 1 X and 1 Y motor (2x 4 axis control boards).
All mechanical parts are the same so upgrading from the old style to new style just requires a plate kit (and the required hardware)!!

This is our dual nozzle pick and place head. NEMA17 Z axis motor, machined rack and pinion design, hollow shaft NEMA8 part rotation motors. This works perfectly with our high precision Juki Nozzle holders (See them here). See our other PnP accessories here.

If you order them with our Juki Nozzle holders, I will also fully test them and set the nozzle holders to the lowest possible run-out configuration and ensure run-out is within our specified range. We also mark the set with the TIR indicated in ten-thousandths of an inch (e.g. "7" for 0.0007") , guaranteed to be 0.001" (0.03mm) or less.

I could also probably do custom back plates for people looking to put this on a machine that doesn't have a 12mm linear rail on the X axis. Contact me for pricing.
Specifications:
- designed to mount to a standard 12mm linear rail (HIWIN with LONG block for example: MGN12H, Short block MGN12C).
Check out the head mounting drawing below for more details.
- 5mm hollow shaft for nozzle holder mounting.
- Each nozzle can drop down approximately 22.5mm from neutral.
- Homing is accomplished using an inductive sensor. The kits have been supplied with a new 5v tolerant sensor for a couple of months but as of 2018-09-05 they are confirmed working on the built in homing switch terminals on the smoothie board. On the test board the voltage was 4.7v and it worked normally so no more voltage issues!
- Easy to modify the mounting plate for other systems (like openbuilds C beam, etc.)
